A pleasure, Wendy. The box was empty every time I checked in last night.

You're welcome, Kate :) It was the first time I've witnessed the male perform his 'stompy' ritual since last season, I wonder if this is a sign that he's ready to mate? It will be interesting to see if, when the female is alone, she 'assumes' a low position at the back of the box when she hears him enter the barn.
In reply to Sandra :
